Chapter 552 Interview
"When do you think they can complete the merger?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"I'm afraid this depends on their negotiation process, and also depends on whether the Federal Securities Commission and the Trade Commission approve it!" George Wilson said.

Both America Online and Time Warner are large companies with a market value of more than 1000 billion US dollars, and their market value has caught up with the annual GDP of many countries.

It is impossible for such a merger of two companies to use all cash. It will definitely involve equity replacement, the ratio of the replacement, and how much the replacement will involve. Various details are involved, and it may take a few years to toss.

What's more important is that the negotiations are not finished. Many companies have finished the negotiations, and the government does not approve them. The management rules of the stock market are much more than those in China.

"Have you got the documents from Alice?"

To get enough benefits in this wave of Internet bubble, you need enough capital.

Yang Dongsheng also took his jewelry, quartz sand, and mineral water businesses for evaluation to facilitate loans.

There are too many lands in North America, and it is impossible to sell them all in a short time, and all of them are lent to Alice for mortgage.

Correspondingly, Alice will also take out the funds they can mobilize to Hong Kong and lend them to the finance department of Dongsheng Company.

This time Yang Dongsheng was able to mobilize more than 60 billion US dollars of funds.

George Wilson said while digging out information, “Before I came here, I saw an article in the Wall Street Journal that the overall price-earnings ratio of Nasdaq index companies has reached 200, which is twice as high as that of the Japanese real estate bubble in 1991. More than that, Greenspan has already announced a rate hike..."

When Yang Dongsheng heard this, he thought that this wave has stabilized. In this era, no economy can withstand the power of the Fed to raise interest rates.

Once the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, the world's funds will be sucked away by the United States, and the cost of using funds will increase exponentially.

The Federal Reserve has harvested the world through this trick for decades. It was not until around 2020 that no country resisted the US’s tricks, making Americans want to raise interest rates, but they dare not raise them. They have been tossing back and forth for several years.

At the beginning of shorting, Yang Dongsheng did not dare to use too high leverage, and basically controlled it within five times.

Regarding their short-selling, the Hong Kong paper media gave one-sided satire - "many arms block cars", "flies may shake trees", "admiration for your courage"... Anyway, there is not a good word.

From their point of view, bumpkins from the mainland would be fine if they had dirt behind them to eat, and it was a shock to them to dare to speak against them.

Under this wave of publicity, the stock price of Cyberport not only did not fall, but rose a lot. The market value once approached 9000 billion Hong Kong dollars. Fortunately, Yang Dongsheng did not use too high leverage.

The Internet economy in the United States is booming, and Hong Kong is also hyping the Internet. However, there are a lot of real estate companies in Hong Kong, and there are only a handful of companies that can be connected to the Internet.

A fake Internet company can achieve this market value without earning a penny. This kind of strange thing can only happen in a weird place like Hong Kong.

"I think it is necessary to popularize basic financial knowledge to these mainlanders..." A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses spoke eloquently on TV.

Yang Huai turned off the TV, opened the blinds, and glanced down, "Hong Kong is such a small place, why are there so many reporters?"

Yang Dongsheng also looked down, only to see that there were a lot of people below.

Xin said, could it be that the Hong Kong Prostitutes Association is now issuing certificates indiscriminately?
Yang Dongsheng is not worried about what Hong Kong people say, but he is worried about the people on the other side. "The people who surf the Internet are all young people. I should find a newspaper or TV station to be interviewed."

"Which company to look for? People who engage in the media are all of the same virtue, and there is no truth in their mouths!"

"Are there TV stations that speak Mandarin?"

Yang Dongsheng did not dare to accept interviews from Cantonese media. He could not understand Cantonese, and he did not trust the professionalism of Hong Kong people.

More importantly, Yang Dongsheng has something to say to someone who understands Mandarin.

"When you say that, I really think of a TV station. A few days ago, a TV station called Yeji TV contacted me and wanted to do an exclusive interview with you. They spoke Mandarin. I heard that the founder is also from mainland China!"

"The pheasant platform?" Yang Dongsheng didn't expect that there would be a pheasant platform at this time, "Just them!"

According to legend, Liu Le, the founder of Yeji Terrace, has a deep background, and Yeji Terrace actually landed in the mainland for a while.

In fact, according to Yang Dongsheng's observation, they just caught up with the good times, did a few coincident things, and introduced state-owned capital-a mobile communication company in mainland China as the second shareholder.

After being passed on like this, a fool will take the initiative to clarify that he has no background.

Didn't Yang Dongsheng do a few tricks in the early days of his business?

Later, Yeji Terrace was touted by the Americans and won several awards in the United States, but it forgot why it was able to land. Like the "Lingnan Daily", it began to move closer to American values.

Yang Huai went to contact Yeji Terrace, and the next day Yang Dongsheng met Liu Le, who was so fat that he was about to become a ball.

Liu Le stretched out his fat hand and grabbed Yang Dongsheng's hand, "Thank you Mr. Yang for accepting our interview!"

At present, Yeji TV is seeking to be listed on the Growth Enterprise Market of Hong Kong. Yang Dongsheng chose to accept their interview, which is simply to give them ratings.

In the previous life, the ratings of Pheasant TV were not fake at the beginning. In the end, because of the 911 incident and the Iraq war, they followed the behind of foreign TV stations to participate in the live broadcast, and then they became famous in one fell swoop.

"President Liu, you're welcome!" Yang Dongsheng pressed the button of the recording pen and pulled his hand out of his pocket.

Several people adjusted the lights, cameras, and reflectors. Liu Xinyu, who was about the same height as Yang Dongsheng, sat under the lights and adjusted the lights and camera positions with the lights and photography.

A makeup artist sprayed gel water on Yang Dongsheng's head and gave Yang Dongsheng a little haircut.

Yang Huai spoke to Yang Dongsheng at the side.

In this kind of interview, the questions are usually told to the interviewees in advance.

"Mr. Yang, it's done over there!"

Yang Dongsheng sat under the light, and everything else was fine, but the light was too strong, and a layer of sweat quickly formed on his forehead.

The staff pinned the microphone to Yang Dongsheng's clothes, and a handsome beauty in a professional suit sat opposite Yang Dongsheng.

Yang Dongsheng glanced at it. Liu Le really paid attention to this interview. Not only did he come in person, but also the top female anchor of Yeji TV.

"Mr. Yang, please say a few words, let's try the pronunciation, you can say whatever you want!" The host spoke with a Taiwanese accent.

"One, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain to fight tigers..."

Liu Le gave them a thumbs up.

"Can we start, Mr. Yang?" the hostess asked.
